World Tuberculosis Day is observed every year on March 24 to raise awareness about Tuberculosis (TB)—a serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs but can impact other parts of the body too.
TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes
It is preventable and curable, yet millions still fall ill every year
Early detection and proper treatment can save lives
It helps reduce stigma and encourages people to seek care
TB is preventable. TB is curable. Awareness is powerful.
